Braves Country - Richard Brent - The Big House Museum

On this week’s episode of Braves Country, we focus on The Allman Brothers Band and the Big House Museum in historic Macon, Georgia! In 1969 the Allman Brothers Band, as the founders of what became known as Southern Rock, changed the course of popular American music and turned Macon into the recording hot bed of the '70s. The band was formed by brothers Duane Allman (slide guitar and lead guitar) & Gregg Allman (vocals, organ, songwriting), Dickey Betts (lead guitar, vocals, songwriting), Berry Oakley (bass guitar), Butch Trucks (drums), and Jaimoe (drums).  The Big House Museum is an amazing place to visit! It was the house where members of the band, crew, friends and families lived until 1973. It was the gathering place in those early years when the magic that is the Allman Brothers Band was beginning to take shape…And to here to discuss the Allman Brothers and the Big House, today we're joined by the Director of The Big House Museum, Mr. Richard Brent!  Welcome to the Braves Country Podcast!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
